CENPT - centromere protein T Gene
Also Known as SSMGA; CENP-T; C16orf56
Species: Homo sapiens
About CENPT
This gene has 35 transcripts (splice variants), 176 orthologues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Ubiquitous expression in skin (RPKM 26.3), testis (RPKM 20.1) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The centromere is a specialized chromatin domain, present throughout the cell cycle, that acts as a platform on which the transient assembly of the kinetochore occurs during Mitosis. All active centromeres are characterized by the presence of long arrays of nucleosomes in which CENPA (MIM 117139) replaces histone H3 (see MIM 601128). CENPT is an additional factor required for centromere assembly (Foltz et al., 2006 [PubMed 16622419]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
